Hello there!

I have a question.... someone please can tell me what year was recorded the song "Going Back" of the album "Queen in Nuce" with Freddie on vocals?

Tks!
1973
Live life to the full!
Something I've always wondered about that album.

Is it an official release or a bootleg? I saw it in my local CD shop and bought it. Great album! Also what does the name mean exactly?
Radio! Someone still loves you!
In Nuce is a bootleg. Superior sound quality offers getting smile.
"in Nuce" is Latin I suppose, and it means something like "in short".
Keep 'em mowing blades sharp!
definitely 73 - i had the UK EMI pressing of ICHM and going back - it was 73

You're wrong. It was actually recorded in 1972, but it took nearly a year to release it for some odd reason(s)
Oh, 1972. I thought it was older.
What is the oldest record of Freddie that I can found?
i misinterpreted the question - i was thinking in terms of release date - sorry

There's a bootleg of Freddie singing for a pre-Queen band, Ibex, at the Sink Club in Liverpool in 1969 (I can't remember the exact date). That's the earliest that I know about.
I've been considering getting that one... is it good quality?

Not really....it sounds old and you can barely hear Freddie singing because the music is too loud. My guess is that the recorder was near the back of the club. I kinda like the music and it's a neat thing to have.
It's not just Freddie though... they have Smile stuff w/ Tim Staffel singing don't they? That's what I'm most interested in...

O yea....sorry I was talking about the Ibex Live at the Sink Club Recording.

The Smile Album is an actual studio album recorded by Smile to be released as a regular album. It is very good quality.

Queen in Nuce also includes a few studio Smile tracks. Email me and I can send you it if you like.
Tks everyone for the info :]
Very helpful

"Look beyond the Innuendo" you are offering to send via e-mail the "Queen in Nuce" tracks or Smile or Ibex?

I've got the In Nuce but I am really interessed on Ibex records.

Tks again!
